The plating was as flexible as regular fabric thus making it as a kind of anti laser ' Kevlar.'Īll Phase IV armor suits were equipped to withstand the extreme elements of both other worlds and space.
Just as their Imperial counterparts, Phase IV troopers wore a full size armored body glove consisting of intersewn sheets of reinforced lightweight alloy plating. The armor was basically a collection individually placed armatures and jointed plating worn over the torso and limbs with a protective helmet and a heavily armored skirt made of a heavy anti-EM insulation lined with a loose blast shield fabric interwoven with an anti-laser mesh. The overall build of Phase IV armor was fairly similar to basic stormtrooper armor and earlier forms of clone trooper armor variants, but it was still more advanced in many ways.
